Join Erskine Veterans Charity at the Ideal Home Show Scotland2025!
Come along and see them kick off this year’s show with a spectacular opening parade, led by the ever-popular Corporal Cruachan IV—the cheeky Shetland pony and beloved mascot of The Royal Regiment of Scotland—accompanied by the Renfrewshire Schools’ Pipe Band, serving personnel, and cadets.
Visit Erskine at stand G255, you can’t miss them, as this year they have a full-size decommissioned tank, for all the military buffs out there!
Step back in time to the street parties of VE Day 1945 as they commemorate the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day. Helping them recreate the atmosphere are the dancers from Boogie Box Jive. As well as the Combined Forces Living History Group and the fantastic Commando D Living Group.
Along with celebrating the joy and overwhelming sense of relief, they also remember the fear, hardship, and loss endured by those who lived through those years. Hear first-hand accounts from our Veterans, sharing their powerful stories of life during World War II.
For over a century, Erskine has been at the heart of Veteran care in Scotland, providing unwavering support to those who served. Whether you're a long-time supporter or discovering our work for the first time, they invite you to stop by, connect with history, and see how Erskine continues to support Veterans today.
